I don’t judge.

I completely despise Last Christmas. It’s like a song about a 1-night stand or something and the only reason they play it at Christmas is because it has the word Christmas in the lyrics. They couldn’t make it be less about Christmas if they tried. And it doesn’t matter who sings it, I will never be able hit NEXT fast enough when it comes on. Ever.

Baby It’s Cold Outside has always bugged me. I even remember having an awkward conversation with my mom when I was a kid and asked why he wouldn’t let the girl go home. I saw a pretty good parody online the other day, trying to make it less date rapey. It really brought out the ridiculousness.

Wonderful Christmas time! I don’t hate this song per se, but by the end of December, I just can’t hear it anymore- drives me crazy and sticks in my head- it really becomes an earworm for days!
Happy Holidays!

I am NOT a fan of Little Drummer Boy. I also hate any Christmas songs that have very little to do with Christmas or holidays, save for some jingle bells in the background. I know you didn’t ask but my most FAVORITE Christmas song is It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year – because IT IS!

My least favorite Christmas song is “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”. I support the cause of the song and the money it raised and have the utmost respect for all the artists that participated, but I just can’t get over the lyrics.

My least favorite Christmas song is the “Grumpy 12 days of Christmas” or whatever it’s called – where they complain about the lines at the store and the Christmas lights not working and blah blah blah. No Thank You!

There is a song that comes on the local radio station, but during Christmas music “season”, they don’t have DJ’s announcing the songs, so I don’t know the name, I just know it drives me INSANE!!! There’s a background singer that mirrors everything the lead singer says in this nasal-y, awful voice and then it’s stuck in my head for days because I sing along to it to mock them (in my car, by myself…don’t judge)

Favorite Christmas songs, just in case you want a good song in your head: O Holy Night, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Silent Night, Joy to the World…most all of the hymns are great. Love the “kids” songs too – Rudolph, Jingle Bells, Frosty. Oh, and really enjoy all of B. E. Taylor’s versions of Christmas songs and his originals.
Thanks for this giveaway!

I can’t stand the “Christmas Shoes” song. It is all about a kid and his dying Mom, and instead of being at home with her, he’s out buying her shoes that he can’t afford. Created simply to tug at the heart strings and it doesn’t even make sense!

That Paul McCartney one – Simply having a wonderful Christmas time! HATE it! They used to play it all. the. time. at the retail place I worked at in highschool. Blech.

The original Last Christmas is a close 2nd for me. Amazingly I don’t hate the Taylor Swift remake as much, but it took me a while to even consider listening to it because I really dislike the original. It was another one that was constantly played :/

Let me just say that I LOVE Christmas music, so finding a least favorite was difficult…but I’d say Little Drummer Boy. It’s rather boring to me and I remember singing it in a school Christmas show when I was a kid.

I think Santa Baby is really dumb, and also Sunny 99.1 plays (or at least they used to play) this song about a guy who runs into an old girlfriend at the grocery store and it turns out he’s just lonely and she’s unhappily married so they drink a case of beer in her car and then she goes home and the snow turns into rain. How is that a Christmas song?!?!?!

I hope other people out there know which song I’m talking about, otherwise I’ll just sound crazy

My least favorite song is Wonderful Christmastime. It’s a dreadfully obnoxious song, especially the Paul McCartney version. I cringe every time I hear it. Unfortunately though it gets stuck in my head so easily. Ugh.

Oh my gosh, how much do I love you and this giveaway? What a great question to ask! Last Christmas is definitely awful, but I’ll say the dogs barking Jingle Bells just so you know I didn’t just copy you.

So funny to hear people have strong opinions about bad Christmas music. I don’t hate any of them…love some more than others, but I have a chest full of Christmas CDs and it is something I indulge in from the day after Thanksgiving until just after New Year. Love it! And love it and love amazon shopping

I would say Charlie Brown song and rocking around the Christmas tree oh and grandma got ran over oh I know you said one ~ for the most part I love them all but these ~ my fav is Marshmallow Christmas by Dean Martin so happy and I do love those Marshmallows too!!! heee heee enjoy your day!

I love all Christmas music. I can’t think of a Christmas song that I don’t like. It all puts me in the holiday spirit. Even the “annoying” songs most people despise, I enjoy because they bring back childhood memories.

I’m not necessarily the kind of person who gets overly excited by listening to Christmas music, but there aren’t any of them I can think of disliking. That is as long as it’s not for hours on end. Too long, and they all start to drive me crazy.

Some of these answers made me laugh out loud … “Baby It’s Cold Outside” as a date rape anthem – haha – and also Buble singing “Santa Baby” – totally sketchy. But of all time, I can’t stand the “Auld Lang Syne” song where the married woman and the guy narrator meet up and drink a six-pack in the car, complaining about her architect husband, etc. Horrible messages/ideas for Christmas time!!

I’ll go with “Grandma got run over by a reindeer”, closely followed by “Santa Baby” I don’t recognize some of the other titles, but don’t like ‘sad’ songs about Christmas. I tend to play my own CDs at home and tapes in the car, because I too prefer the more traditional music.

I don’t know if I can think of one xmas song that I despise. It’s kinda all of em when they’re played incessantly. I just can’t stand xmas music playing everywhere I go. It also infiltrates my radio stations. I’m listening to some nice music then BAM! Am I too harsh?

I actually love Christmas songs, but Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is bad. My dad referred to it “that stupid Grandma got hit with a shovel song” yesterday when I helped them get their tree, which I thought was funny.

Um, I totally wholeheartedly agree with the list of submissions you posted today. But have you heard Bieber’s take on Little Drummer Boy with Busta Rhymes?!?!? I never knew the Little Drummer Boy could be so gangsta and dirty! What’s happened to Christmas?

Wow, I actually don’t like a quite a few Christmas songs…1) Last Christmas (so depressing for a Xmas song) 2) Grandma got ran over by a reindeer (what?! who wants to sing about grandma getting run over?) 3) I saw mommy kissing Santa (gross) 4) Baby it’s cold outside 5) Justin Bieber’s rendition of All I want for Christmas (he just murders the song).

“Do They Know It’s Christmas.” Of course, I’m not against raising money for famine in Ethiopia (the original version did that)–and the lyrics are fine, but I really, really can’t stand the melody and the arrangement. Argh. Makes me cringe and change the station.
